He threatened an FBI officer.

I mean he shouldn't be in prison at all but he should have seen that coming.

Wow, this really sucks. I've read a bunch of his stuff. He's a good guy. Witty, intelligent and engaging. Exactly the type of guy that the Government would make an example out of. Considering the FBI's response to the merry band of troublemakers known as Anonymous, I guess he should thank his lucky stars that the sociopaths over at the CIA didn't lay hands on him! They really would have alphabet-souped his ass!

In essence, this is the government firing a shot across the bow of journalists and activists who don't march to the beat of their drums. Welcome to the new America.

I wonder if they think this will shut him up when he gets out. I sort of doubt that he will.
